Princess de Lamballe
Birth: 1749
Death: 1792
A lady-in-waiting to Marie-Antoinette from the start of Louis XVI's reign, her relationship with the queen was the subject of salacious gossip right through to the Revolutionary period. She remained an active defender of Marie-Antoinette's interests and this made her vulnerable once the monarchy fell in August 1792. She was imprisoned on 19 August and killed during the September Massacres two weeks later.
